Quickly stealing a glance at the pendant watch around her neck, Seren bit her lower lip... just a couple more minutes, no doubt there would be a few late comers.
OOC: The lesson has not started yet, so feel free to RP arriving still. The lesson will start officially in approximately 7 hours form the time of this post.
"Yes, I did professor!" She replied brightly, she was about to go on this particularly long telling of how she tried
but failed to help her mother with her flowers, but caught how the Professor checked her watch.
"Thank you for asking." She said instead with another bright smile
"I hope you did too." Quote:

After closing the door to the greenhouse, Seren turned on her heel to face the students. "Welcome everyone to the first herbology lesson of the term, for those of you who are returning, it's good to see you... for those of you who are new, welcome I hope you enjoy your time here."
"Now before we start I hope you have all familiarised yourselves with the class rules and I hope you all have your gloves with you. If not, please take this time to grab a pair from the stores cupboard," she said indicated the cupboard near the door opposite her.
She paused briefly to allow time for those students to get settled. "Now a few of you have asked about this ivy that is growing on the window panes... and for the record, they won't harm you, though they may attempt to wrap themselves around your ankles or your fingers should you allow them to." She gave a few of the leaves another gentle stroke as they reached out to her.
"Now before we move deeper into the greenhouse, does anybody have any idea as to why there is little light in here?"
OOC: The lesson has OFFICIALLY started, do not post your character arriving late unless you want to lose house points-- just pretend you were here the whole time, also no more chatting please, and DO NOT edit your posts/answers. Feel free to be as creative as you like with your response and I shall continue this lesson in approximately 12 hours.
The plants were not dangerous? Somehow, Cass simply couldn't comprehend that simple fact. She watched as Professor Bentley sort of affectionately stroked the vines around her, but then she was a Herbology professor...plants love her!
Students on the other hand...well, let's just say she didn't want to know what would happen if ever any of them wrapped themselves around her ankles...she would probably freak, or worse, faint from fright. Any of the two options didn't seem nice.
"Maybe because the plants are light sensitive?" She answered uncertainly
"or maybe they didn't like light, like Devil's Snare - as Kurumi answered earlier." She added, could there be another possibility, but she wasn't totally sure about it
"or maybe the darkness sort of helps the vines to grow longer." Like that lima bean plant that she had accidentally left inside the storage room two summers ago, it's stem became longer than the average plant...but then the leaves also turned this sickly shade of yellow, so that was a bit of a bust
"maybe I mean, a plant would continue to grow, trying to look for sunlight, wouldn't it? Maybe it's the same case with the vines..." She could also remember a discussion they once had concerning plants that flourish during the evenings, but the memory was already vague and she was pretty sure it involved something about the moon...and last time she checked, there was no moon in sight.
